The other Side I didn't mean to drink and drive To take the life of not one but five I was just out for a little fun A little drink made me feel like number one I thought I was fine to get behind the wheel I didn't understand the big deal But I drove the night And caused many a fright Ending only with the smash And sound of crushing glass I didn't mean to hurt anyone I just thought I was having fun Until I heard the screams that night Until I saw the look of fright. On that family's face As their car flipped onto its base I didn't mean to hurt anyone I guess I wasn't number one Forgive me, someone please I'll pay my fees This nightmare will end Nevermind that, many lost their friends. Forgive me, someone please My fees aren't enough so here are my pleas For I tore whole families apart I took their lives by the local mart Five teenages just learning to fly I took their lives before they had a chance to try Please forgive me, someone Here are my pleas, I'm not number one I'm sorry, so sorry My God, WHAT HAVE I DONE? Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

The ending of one life is a chance for another. Or so they say. Thanks for the replies. Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

Wow, interesting to see the other side of this. I read so much about the evils of drunk driving and those who do it, but it is rare to see the other perspective. Well done! I am not a poet, I am merely one who speaks in emotion |
